Little Simz - Stay lyrics

[Intro] sh** coulda been so different, i'll tell you sh** coulda been so different, i'll tell you [Verse 1] What if i've never went Highbury fields And didn't meet Jade Siannon and Jasmin didn't meet space Staring out the window with a deep gaze Hide and protect your man these days Oh lord What if i never went EC1 and didn't meet Josh And I never asked what he's on Coulda been a friendship we lost, like... What if I never met Isaac?? That sh** need a moment of silence You should now close your eyelids Reflect the time that we spent Then look around with your Iris See the weather adapt to your climate Create a world that only you vibe with Decide your fate to say you have tried it This is time, we should all read between the lines Edge is here, now the scenes quiet Still thinking like If my mother never raised me And I was in foster care Like all the kids that came to our house to stay sh** Shoulda never got close to them Because when they leave its like my heart goes to them Coulda been blood related Sometimes in life, you don't see sh** changing Real talk [Hook] You can try and fight Tell me where your running to Don't ever try deny it I've been tryin' to figure out Will you be enlightened? We paths with those meant to be in our lives So please don't ever leave me Please, don't ever leave me Please, don't ever leave me Don't ever leave me, no Please, don't ever leave me Please, don't ever leave me [Verse 2] What if, aiming at a post labelled, X,Y,Z You wouldn't of been working Now we in a place where it's hard to get to Everything happens for a reason It's never been clear, more than now I'm tryin' to connect dots, show me how Text the Universe to hold me down Get familiar, better know these sounds Looking to find free sea Sitting aside, a big roof full of love You visualise to see me Trying to provide for my family, right The same mentality up in these streets What if Telana never smoked weed? What if Chuck's weren't achant to me I would never dance together when we was 13 sh** coulda been so different now, ill tell you sh** coulda been so different now, ill tell you What if our plans had fell thru? Down the road that might lead to greatness, I go How the hell can leave the space when I'm home man [Hook]
